CRUMBLED SOME

It’s more than a coincidence

That “pillow” rhymes/w “shadow”.

If I had to,

& the sense to know how,

I’d set the darkest dreams aside.

If I lied some, & thought those things

As tied up,

I’d fake it some, I’d hope some

For a wide enough merciful break,

& loosening rope,

& in this broken cup

I hold my spirits up.
